I will be getting both of these heroes really soon and want to know before hand who to star/saint. I am wondering for PvP purposes and i use Maria. Would Maria make Pompey more useful?
So who is better?

I personally like them both. But in PVP situation, I prefer Pompey if you are using Maria over Blood. But it is a close call. Both dodge really well and as Blood loses health, he does more dmg. Pompey works the opposite, but does tremendous dmg off the get go.
Pompey + Maria > Bloodstorm + Maria
Pompey is one who sacrifices himself at the front lines in exchange for a OHKO or protected in back and healed by Maria.
Bloodstorm can get nicer damage as the battle goes on if you can manage to get his health low (and keep it there). Maria healing Bloodstorm is kind of counterintuitive.
Personally, for PvP purposes, I think I would prefer Pompey.

this is a tough call, there is pvp situations and pve where you need both or either. both are used during banishes well, pomp is famous for 1 shooting in the first round and blood likes to dodge and block and gives consistant damage. you should have both but can without the other. so for now i would recomend blood simply because you dont have to combine him with maria and i prefer to get either brynn (for stun, not damage!) or aphrodite (stun and damage) into my forms rather than pomp+maria. also dont forget totake into consideration that marias heals are random and unreliable. pomp is great for banishes and i include him into several of my banish forms and until about round 4-5 or so he does more damage than blood before he ties, so he is usually placed 2nd to die in my banish formations if used.
in conclusion, you have to make up your mind first if you want reliability over damage, if you can tuck pomp safely into the form somewhere if you need maria and so on. i am sure you get the point.
btw, sooner or later you will have both stared up and use both equally.
ps: dont forget about skill transfer and that dawns cards cost less then half of either of the others
several months into this topic i'd like to make it official and point out that after bloodstorm got nerfed they actually broke him.
for everyone who didnt know this from the past: blood used to increase his damage by stacking up morale. after changing that skill and removing the "power-up" he got a less competitive.
now i just compared damage results and stats with my alcibiades and noticed that after staring them up equally they are about the same. the only differences seem to be in that alci hits up to 3 targets and blood got continues rage changed into rallying strike and hits 1 target for about the same damage as alci. alci in this case is only 1 example out of many that i could do.
since blood got changed before RC, i'd like to recommend to reinstate bloods old skill and make the game that way more strategic and interesting. especially because blood is a title recruit hero (supposed to be more superior over same level RC heroes) but does less damage than existing RC heroes (regardless if morale is retained or not).
at this point lance doesnt seem to have an equal opposite gold damage hero for single targets, while blood SHOULD be that hero. he should be the morale retaining damage dealer alternative to lance. the only one who comes to the same DOT as lance is pompei who kills himself but retains morale.
i would suggest to reinstate bloods old skill or give him additional damage or additional basic critical stat on top.
@andy:
i just noticed that when i clicked on blood link in "andy hero index" it lead me here to the comparison blood vs pomp. i will start a real topic with blood only here. please delete my post from here and link the new thread into the index. ty.
